Board approves Justin variance to retain additional dwellings with footprint condition
Summary
Morrison County Board of Adjustment approved a variance allowing the Justin family to retain an additional dwelling on farm property, imposing a condition that the three homes remain in their existing general footprints.
Gary and Ryan Justin received board approval July 7 to exceed the allowable number of dwellings on a parcel so the existing house can remain part of the farm. Staff entered Sections 305.6 and 604.13 of the Morrison County Land Use Control Ordinance, aerial photos and a site plan into the record; 61 notices were sent to neighboring property owners.
Board members noted the farm has been in the family for years and characterized the existing home as a longstanding nonconformity. Member Clint Kathrein said farms are growing and sometimes require additional dwellings to operate; he supported adding a condition to ensure the homes remain in the same general footprint if rebuilt. On a motion by Greg Colome, seconded by Clint Kathrein, the board approved the variance with one condition limiting relocation of the homes' footprints. The public hearing was closed later in the meeting and routine business followed.
